The problem karma is that this is a poll, and most of us have played few times with you and we dont know about your skills and behaviour. So if we have 3 chances in the poll "yes, no and maybe later and kyo is a nab", most of us choose "maybe later and kyo is a nab".
You dont need to convince 3-4 players, you need to convince 50% of ct players, and you can only reach this by playing usually with us, not by winning a catfight to theroze (if we had had to let Theroze enter by his skills, he would still be knocking on the door.)
We are a democracy.

Another example: we all know compguygene. Maybe we would let him enter in our clan because he is a crazy and lovely old man, although basically his skills are really poor, but we all know him.

Funny you should mention that. I am thinking of applying to CT this winter......but not to ever play on a CT team, but to turn one or 2 of my VPS's into strictly CT ones. I really think that once I get my servers straightened out, I would like to consider joining CT to give CT a couple more toys to play with, and learn more from Kyle, et al. I also know that I will probably never gain skillz enuf to join the CT clan as a player on teams. Heck, I would even be happy to just be an "honorary member" and be able to work with CT server techs, as in donate a VPS or 2, etc.

Karma this is why my advice to you is to deliberately start playing with these guys. They are THE MOST FUN PLAYERS ON THE GRIDZ! Personally, I have more fun playing sumo in a server full of CT and other awesome players and being in last place, than playing among players with lesser skillz and kindof owning!

Compguy: I love your way of writing between serious and ironic-funny. Perhaps is your age, like me. We could play. You could do a sumo or fortress tournament only for old men. Only +30 allowed. "kings of eldergetron"
Or we could do a team for the ladle: PRU - Please respect us.
